(bit pricy now tho...)

What happened to those Mram chips from a few years back? The review on this drive isnt very flattering considering even 5,400rpm drives were outpacing it in real-world tasks! :0

yeah, thats just what I was thinking :o

do you mean the gigabyte I-Ram ?

not sure what happend to them.... theyre too small / expensive for home users I think.... 8gig max... and you have to pay £150 for it... and then buy the 8gig of ram to go in it !

I thought there was suppose to be a big push with the launch of Vista for drives that are half solid state and half platter based?

Why would home users need solid state hard drives ? surely itd be for those people who like to vibrate their computers greatly... so laptop users and the army maybe ? or runners... but in home computers that sit on desks I cant see an advantage.

You may argue that its more reliable, but Ive got a 40GB maxtor HDD in my computer that has been running windows for many many years and its never broken down.

I thought the limit at the time was the SATA(iirc?) bus speed.
